A DEADLY EXPLOSION.

Fourteen Thousand Gallons OF Naptha
Pumped Into the Sewers at Rochester,
n. u, Expl0des-Strects T0rn Up and
Buildings Blown D0wn-F0ur Persons
Killed and Score Injured.
ROCHESTER,. n Y, Dec 22-Shortly be-
fore $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon a ter
rifle explosion occurred in front OF the Poole
flour mill, on Mill street, at the foot OF
Factory street The explosion was felt
for long distance Only q few seconds
after the first explosion another fol-
lowed, and another, and another, in
rapid succession Instantly flames burst
from the Poole mill, and the rear walls fell
in. 1t was only few minutes before the
Washington mill, adjoining the burning
structure, was also on fire, and thence the
flames communicated to other buildings
One OF the workmen jumped from the
third story of the Poole mill and is
seriously injured Another escaped by
jumping into the race. 1t is believed that
four persons are killed These are: Fred
erick Wilson, Edward A. Webster, Abram
Rogers and John Lee The injured will
number at least twenty Most OF them are
bruised and cut
The cause Of the explosion was that the
sewers in the vicinity were filled with
naptha Yesterday Ii, 900 gallons of naptha
were pumped from the vacuum oil works
through the pipe lying in the bed of the
old canal 1t was intended for the Municipal
Gas Company. but one or more breaks in
the line allowed the naptha to escape into
the adjoining sewers When the sewers
became surcharged with the gas it escaped
into the mills and exploded there or else
where. and the fire made its way through
the mains in the middle of the streets
by throwing out the man-hole covers
and tearing up the roadway.
The aggregate damage Is hard to esti-
IN tie. The following individual losses are
known: Washington mill and contents,
$50, 900; insurance. $4,000; jefferson
mill and contents STU. 900; insurance,
$35, 900; Clinton mill and consents. $75.
900; insurance, $4,000 Besides this
there is undoubtedly great damage to the
sewers The streets in many places are torn
up and there are many smaller losses to
buildings

Mrs. JOHN JACOB AsroR. who died
recently in New York. was woman
who rose above the tempting diver
sions her great wealth afforded and
did signal work as practical philan-
thropist. Children's aid societies. in
dustrial schools and lodging houses
were favorite objects Of Mrs. Astor's
bencvolence, and the wisdom with
which she strove to help the poor to
help themselves made her gifts doubly
useful. Mrs. Astor was sixty.one
years of age. Her husband and son,
we'll known rs diplomat and author,
survive her.

A NEW YORK man says that the
great drawback to electric street rail-
ways is that you can not ride even Il
block on one of those cars without
having your watch completely magnet
,zed and ruined SO far rs time-keeping
is concerned. All the electric roads
have the same difficulty. and the in
rentors. although they have been try
ing for years. have not yet succeeded
in discovering Il remedy. Until that
defect is removed. no electric street
railway will be n success.
